Battat Dolls

I purchased an 'Our Generation' doll at a thrift store ($3) last week. She has a kind of 'creepy' face. Today (01/01/2011), I went into Target and purchased a 'new stock' Katheryne ($20) for comparison. The two dolls look nothing alike!  I think Katheryne is rather cute. But what do I know, I'm just an old Grand Pa.




Just a quick note:  I use those tiny rubber hair bands to hold my dolls' socks up.

Katheryne does have a much better face. I've also seen Battat dolls with the same face as Katheryne, except they have two teeth showing. I think they were trying to make them look more like AG dolls, but all it did was make them look buck-toothed. :} I like them with closed lips much better.

I did a serious inspection of the Battat doll bodies. I have a few negative comments on the older doll: The eyebrows are rather dark, crude, and seem to be positioned a bit low and wide. The eyes have painted lashes above AND below in addition to the 'real' lashes on her eyelids. This gives her that creepy stare Her mouth is too wide and the lower lip is too large. The fabric torso has several problems. The 'bag' is too big and seems over-stuffed. As a result she looks like a hunch-back with no hips and 'love handles'. I intend to practice 'cosmetic surgery' on this doll ($3 isn't much of a loss if the experiment goes awry).

I saw one of the Battat dolls with two teeth showing, it's just as you say. Emma has such a beautiful face!

Samantha arrived today! She's gorgeous! Just as described, her arms and hip joints are a bit loose, but mom had a great post on tightening them. Your blog is so cool! I examined Sanantha's teeth and now believe I can perform orthodontic correction to the Battat dolls. I found another $3 thrift store Battat doll with the better face (no teeth) and torso.

Hey, sorry I never checked back on these comments. I'm glad the restringing post was helpful to you (at least, I think you were talking about my restringing post!). :} I'm glad you enjoy my blog. Thanks for always being so encouraging. :)

Have fun restringing Samantha! :D
